Nov. 29, 2015—Are you ready to be a Commodore?
What I’m Looking Forward To
Nov. 17, 2015—It’s been a little while since my last blog post. I’m still recovering from a killer week with two big exams and a research paper, but I figured I should write something before finals approach. Oh boy. Don’t want to start thinking about that. The semester is gradually winding to a close. I just had...
Run for the Hills (There Are LOTS of Them)
Oct. 8, 2015—“I can’t tonight, I have a long run tomorrow.” Since this semester started, pretty much everyone I ever hang out with has gotten the above sentence in response to a suggestion to do something fun and exciting and non-sweaty on Friday nights. “Booooo-riiiiing,” they cry. “Do less,” they snort, with an understandable amount of derision at the prospect of me choosing to forgo a party just to wheeze and chafe my way through a three-hour cross-country slog at 7am.
Déjà VU: A Second Year of Many Firsts
Sep. 3, 2015—Started from the bottom, and now we're here.
Vanderbilt Club Rowing
Jul. 12, 2015—If you’re an incoming first-year, someone in your life has probably given you the spiel about how “college is a time to try new things.” It sounds cheesy, but it’s also one of the most exciting things about beginning your first year of college. When I was in your position just one year ago, I...
Joining the Baseball Bandwagon
Mar. 31, 2015—I’m ashamed to admit it as a Senior, but this past weekend I went to my first Vanderbilt baseball game. In my defense, baseball has never been a sport that I liked especially since I grew up in Australia where baseball doesn’t really exist. We prefer to play cricket over there. In fact, the last...
Shootyhoops
Feb. 6, 2015—The other day, I found my way into Memorial Gym and witnessed some good old Memorial Magic as the Vanderbilt Commodores matched up against the Florida Gators. Traditionally, Vanderbilt has been fairly good at basketball winning the SEC Championship in 2012. Recently, our team has not been the same but a bright future appears to...
A Day on Ice
Jan. 30, 2015—Inspired by the great season that the Nashville Predators are having, I decided it was time to return to the ice skating rink and to continue my pursuit of being an Olympic Figure Skater. I found a large group of people willing to go ice-skating and so we headed off towards Centennial Sportsplex, a mere...
An End to 4 Years of Football
Dec. 1, 2014—With Vanderbilt’s last game of the season against Tennessee, it capped the last football game of my undergraduate career. Sure, by the end of the Tennessee game, I was bitter that we had not finished the season with a win, losing by a narrow margin of 7 points. But, it was time for the season...
There’s Always Next Year
Nov. 22, 2014—As a Titans fan, this seems to be our motto that we have adopted. I guess it’s not as bad as being a Jags fan but its just as bad. The other day, the Titans played the Pittsburg Steelers where we gave up a substantial lead and almost surely knocked ourselves out of any chance...
